Neda decided to take the ferry from the mainland to visit the four islands $P$, $Q$, $R$ and $S$.

The island $Q$ can be reached by ferry only from island $P$ or from the mainland. Ferries connect islands $P$ and $R$, and each of them with the mainland. Island $S$ only has a ferry connection with island $P$.

What is the smallest number of ferry journeys that Neda needs to take in order to visit all the islands and return to the mainland.
